What we buy
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
You can ask us to review the house with its code notice and repair needs still in place. Tell us what the notice lists and what work remains; you do not need to finish repairs before asking about a sale.
What can affect closing in Indiana?
Yes, you can sell a house with an unsafe-building order. If the order was recorded, it stays with the property when it transfers, so the buyer takes it on.
Indiana's Unsafe Building Law applies in Indianapolis and Marion County, and in other cities, towns, or counties that have adopted it. It does not automatically apply everywhere in Indiana. Ask the enforcement authority named on your notice whether the law applies to your property.
Where the law applies, an owner who received an order and has not complied must give the buyer full information before transferring or agreeing to transfer the property. Within five days after agreeing to transfer the property or transferring the interest, the enforcement authority must receive the buyer's name, address, and phone number, along with the transfer document. Bring the notice and any court papers to the closing professional early so the requirements and any court restrictions can be checked.
Indiana Code §§ 36-7-9-1 and 36-7-9-3 explain where the law applies. The transfer requirements are in §§ 36-7-9-26 and 36-7-9-27.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job. An existing order, court case, or responsibility before closing still needs to be addressed.
What happens next
- Tell us the property address, what the notice says, and whether you have court papers or a deadline.

- We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You receive written offer and written terms before you commit.
- If you choose to sell to us, closing is through a title company. The order, court restrictions, and title work still matter.
